It's a testament to how far our legal system has sunk when a transparently phony and made-up "mental illness" manages to commute a 20 year sentence for vehicular homicide to counseling and probation.

Apparently, failing to take responsibility for your actions, even when they kill innocent people, is no longer a crime. It's a mental illness - at least if your parents are wealthy and influential.

Our neighbor’s son was driving under the influence of a LEGAL drug XANAX I don’t know if he had it legally or illegally, but he had a wreck that killed a 14 year old girl and injured her brother. They threw the book at him. I feel sorry for his parents, he is an only child. But as our late Texas Gov. Anne Richards used to say “if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime” Only time I ever agreed with her. Jeff pleaded guilty and got 20 years in prison. He is about 23 years old. He could have gotten about 60 years, as there were several charges against him. I hope and pray that he comes out of prison with a better attitude. He suffered from AFFLUENCY too. Only child, parents both made great salaries, probaby never told him no, dad used drugs with him at home. They grew their own pot. Jeff came over here so stoned one time, that was the last time we let him in the house. But I still pray for his safety in prison, and hope he learned a lesson. But I don’t know that prison will make him a better person. Will wait and see. But he did the crime, he is doing the time.

If the boy had Affuenza, then the Judge must have had Influencea, brought on by a massive injection of green backs into his bank account.

As I’ve said before, Texas is a big place to get lost in. It took over five years to find the bodies of Madaline Murray O’Hair and her adult kids.

Actually, the cure is prison, sharing a cell with Bubba the Axe Murderer, who will make him his b*tch, and when he tires of the little punk, the b*tch of the entire rest of the prison. . .

You (or the writer) left out the part about the judge now being able to retire.

Wow, what a coinky dink--the cure for affluenza is communism. But only for the ugly, rich, white, greedy bastards and their offspring.

'Cause see, the ghetto dwellers they commit crimes for just the opposite reason. That's why you need to give them all your stuff.

Meanwhile, the deaths of four Americans in Bengahzi on the watch of a very wealthy Secretary of State has been largely forgotten.
